[00:00:00] Hard Streets - T-Bone

[00:00:00] Written by：Louis "Buster" Brown III/Warryn Campbell/Rene Sotomayor

[00:00:27] See I was only 16 such a tender age

[00:00:30] A young seed leaving my home in search of ghetto fame

[00:00:32] Mom's begging me to stay

[00:00:34] Crying but yo I gotta make it on my own now

[00:00:36] I'm tired of hustling plus I'm almost full grown now

[00:00:38] Packed up my gears and pursuit of my dreams

[00:00:41] Gave her a kiss then wiped the tears

[00:00:42] From eyes so that she couldn't see

[00:00:44] Jumped in the car starring up at the stars

[00:00:46] Rhyming for hours thinking one day

[00:00:47] I'm a hear the applause

[00:00:48] Now I'm 17 still broke loc

[00:00:51] No money

[00:00:51] Holes in my shoes

[00:00:52] And people laughing 'cuz my clothes crummy

[00:00:54] No food to eat so now I'm digging in the trash can

[00:00:56] Eating left over food from last week in tha bags man

[00:00:59] I never thought that it could get this hard pray to God

[00:01:02] Then I get to stepping 'cuz I know that I'm called

[00:01:04] I told myself I gotta keep the faith living inside

[00:01:06] Knowing I'll make it one day

[00:01:07] So I can't just lay down and die I gotta try yo

[00:01:10] What streets doing to me

[00:01:12] Ghetto running through me

[00:01:15] Thicker than blood down in the mud

[00:01:18] Trying to come up

[00:01:19] These hard streets do it to me

[00:01:22] Ghetto running through me

[00:01:25] Thicker than blood down in tha mud

[00:01:28] Trying to come up another day

[00:01:29] It's 1991 getting older now

[00:01:31] Kicked out my crib nowhere to live

[00:01:33] Wit problems

[00:01:33] And the world on my shoulders now

[00:01:35] If I go home

[00:01:36] Mom will think I'm a loser

[00:01:37] And if I call the homie

[00:01:38] Then he'll think I'm trying to use 'em

[00:01:39] So now I'm stuck sleeping

[00:01:41] On my managers sofa

[00:01:42] Even though I know he's ripping me off

[00:01:43] Trying to play me like a game of poker

[00:01:45] Congested wit depression

[00:01:46] I proceed to try and count my blessing

[00:01:48] Daily like

[00:01:49] The fact I'm still alive

[00:01:50] I could have died on these mean streets

[00:01:52] 'Cuz they ain't kind

[00:01:53] So many killers

[00:01:53] And dealers committing horrible crimes

[00:01:55] D**e fiends driveby's

[00:01:56] Muggers and drug smugglers

[00:01:58] No one expecting me to make it 'cuz I'm from the gutter

[00:02:00] A young g from the streets of killa cal

[00:02:03] Where riders pack heat and smoke w**d as a juvenile

[00:02:05] It's all good though I'm out to prove 'em all wrong

[00:02:08] Reach for the stars

[00:02:09] And show 'em one day I'm a be the bomb

[00:02:10] These hard streets do it to me

[00:02:13] Ghetto running through me

[00:02:16] Thicker than blood

[00:02:18] Down in tha mud

[00:02:19] Trying to come up

[00:02:20] These hard streets do it to me

[00:02:23] Ghetto running through me

[00:02:26] Thicker than blood down in tha mud

[00:02:29] Trying to come

[00:02:29] I'm sick of all the heartaches

[00:02:31] Let downs

[00:02:32] Broken promises and feeling hopeless

[00:02:33] I'm tired of being rejected and all the disappointments

[00:02:36] Feeling like I ain't worth a dime

[00:02:38] People telling me I'm the greatest

[00:02:39] But there's no deal to sign

[00:02:41] Crying devastated and confused at the same time

[00:02:44] My mind is telling me to quit and God's saying try

[00:02:47] My heart is telling me it's over and I'll never rhyme

[00:02:49] But something's telling me prevail and it will be fine

[00:02:51] Too much crime yo

[00:02:52] So much drama yo

[00:02:56] From tha block or ya babies mama

[00:02:58] Be running that game

[00:03:00] Come on

[00:03:01] Run me over yo

[00:03:04] Like my corner yo

[00:03:06] In these streets gotta get your hustle on

[00:03:09] Just like a jigsaw puzzle on

[00:03:11] Come on

[00:03:12] What streets doing to me

[00:03:14] Ghetto running through me

[00:03:18] Thicker than blood

[00:03:19] Down in the mud

[00:03:20] Trying to come up

[00:03:21] These hard streets do it to me

[00:03:24] Ghetto running through me

[00:03:28] Thicker than blood down in tha mud

[00:03:30] Trying to come up another day
